RE: Browning or Weatherby
I would go with Weatherby but instead of the Mark V I would get the Weatherby Vanguard which is available in 270 Winchester. It is every bit as good as either the Mark V or the Browning at a far more reasonable price.

RE: Browning or Weatherby
I love my browings. they are very well built and finished very well and and are accurate right out of the box. i like how well with my brother inlaws 243 the clip connects to the floor plate of the rifle. I have never owned a weather by so i cant coment. take a look at both and see how they fit you. if nothing else buy the one that fits you best. you cant go wrong with a 270. good choise.

RE: Browning or Weatherby
I have had both and still have brownings. The Marks are decently made I like the 3 bolt lug. But they are generally pretty heavy. And not worth the price. I am not a vanguard fan, so I would go with the A-Bolt. They have always treated me right. And for the price, I think you cannot beat em. And unlike the vanguard, they have good resale, as I trade alot.

RE: Browning or Weatherby
I have one of each. I like the Weatherby slightly better. It has a little better finish and I shoot tighter groups with it. I used to think Weatherby's were for guys with more money and less skill. That was until I shot a Weatherby side by side to a Sako 75 I was considering buying.
